The Return-view-to: is by definition a user agent problem.  The idea is it
sends a receipt when the user reads (views) the mail, not on final transport
stage.  The reason for my original posting is that we have just installed SCO
OP for our non-technical users and they are sending mail using the OP
mailer (which for all it's faults is not bad for non technical users).

One of the `features' of the op mailer is that is can generate `view' receipts
and track which ones you have had back so far.  My problem is that the
technical users all use mush (what else ? :-) and now I have to hack
support for view receipts into mush.

I would like to do a good job of it,  I.E. conform to any standards that
may be applicable and be compatible with the rest of the world.  So the
orgiginal question remains:

	What should a mail user agent do with `Return-view-to:' ?
